financing through a third-party lender or a Tesla financier. As a result of its decision to issue
convertible notes instead of debt or equity, Tesla is taking a less risky approach to securing
financing. As TSLA invests in its operations to stabilise its revenue generation, the company's
negative net income will gradually become positive. A key aspect of TESLA's strategy is that it
reinvests cash into financing its own operations in order to increase its value. The firm's
decision to invest in operations that promise future revenue is a bold but risky move that shows
it is confident in its product.
